SIMULATED AIRLINE LUGGAGE SCREENING: THE EFFECTS OF SOCIALCOGNITIVE BIASES ON PERFORMANCEThis study illustrates how social-cognitive biases affects the decision making process of airline luggage screeners. Participants (n = 96) performed a computer simulated task to detect hidden weapons in 200 x-ray ...
An evaluation of airport x-ray backscatter units based on image characteristics Little information exists on the performance of x-ray backscatter machines now being deployed through UK, US and other airports. We implement a Monte Carlo... KJW Carlson - 《Journal of Transportation Security》 被引量...
The darling of the x-ray contenders for screening bags is the CTX-5000, made by InVision Technologies in Foster City, Calif. The computed-tomography machine, similar to the CT scanners used in hospitals, takes cross-sectional slices and combines them into a three-dimensional image. Although its...
1) We went through 3 different airport screenings stateside, all staffed by the high level, new and improved TSA, with no flags raised. At our first checkpoint in Brazil, the “less rigorous” screeners at the x-ray found a set of 8 precision screwdrivers in my wife’s carry on, whic...
In the coming weeks and months, travelers will no longer be able to keep iPads or small MacBook models in their bag when passing through security screenings, and will instead have to place them in a separate bin to be X-rayed, the U.S. Transportation Sec
So, in essence, you are advocating for a return to the metal detector and bag x-ray as the primary screening methods, an approach with which many would agree. Second: You imply that identity checks add to security. But if everyone going through the checkpoint is screened, along with their...
The results pointed out 'X-ray screening process' as bottleneck and the current number of trucks used for cargo uplifting is sufficient enough to dispatch the accepted numbers. Also, alternative scenarios are analysed for a better decision-making.Tamizhinian, A....
